Black Friday 2024 live: Latest offers from Samsung, Dyson, Le Creuset and more

That’s it from me today but, if you’re still looking for more early Black Friday deals, head over to our Black Friday shopping guides, in which the rest of the team and I have been pulling together the best discounts on everything from tech and mattresses to air fryers, beauty and more. If you want to read up on all our tips and tricks ahead of the main event, you can also check out our Black Friday shopping tips rundown.

Whether it’s the brand’s helios hair dryer or the OG hair straighteners (which, according to our reviewer, are still the best), ghd’s hair tools are highly sought-after. Thanks to the brand’s Black Friday sale, there’s up 25 per cent off its stylers, wet-to-dry tools, hair dryers, curlers, styling products and brushes right now.

Ghd original hair styler: Was £139, now £104, Ghdhair.com

In her review, Maisie named the original hair styler the best overall. “I have sworn by ghd’s original styler straighteners ever since they launched in 2001, and though they have undergone some slight modifications over the years, it’s safe to say these straighteners are durable, stand the test of time, hold a style in place for hours, even in humid weather, and are therefore my go-to top pick.”

Air fryers are not only convenient, they can also be cost-effective, setting your back as little as 17p a day to run. Ella’s been busy rounding up some sizzling early Black Friday deals on top models, many of which we’ve tried and tested in our own homes, from Ninja, Salter, Instant and more.

Ninja air fryer AF100UK: Was £99.99, now £69.99, Currys.co.uk

This sleek, space-saving air fryer from Ninja is discounted by £30 at Currys. When we reviewed it, we noted that despite “using up to 75 per cent less fat than traditional frying methods, you still get a good crunch. Its generous 3.8l basket can fit a medium-sized chicken and allows you to air fry, roast, reheat and dehydrate”. What more could you want?

Salter EK4548 dual air fryer: Was £124.99, now £84.99, Amazon.co.uk

Named the best air fryer, this air fryer from Salter “covers all bases with its relatively large baskets, countless cooking options and incredibly easy-to-use design,” noted our reviewer. While this isn’t technically a Black Friday deal, a 32 per cent discount – that’s a £40 saving – on our favourite model is too good to miss.

When it comes to snapping up a bargain on kids’ toys and games in the leadup to Christmas (on behalf of Santa, of course), the Black Friday sales are second to none. I’d recommend keeping retailers like Very, Argos, Amazon, John Lewis and Smyths in mind, all of which have started their sales already. Sarah has been busy selecting the best deals on toys so far, from dolls’ houses to Squishmallows.

Lego Friends Mars space base and rocket toy: Was £79.99, now £39.99, Very.co.uk

Buying for a budding astronaut? Then you’ll want to snap up this set, which has a whopping 50 per cent off. The Lego Friends Mars space base and rocket comes with a buildable rocket, exploration rover, research base and four characters. Designed for children aged eight and up, this set lets kids imagine life on Mars as they rearrange the different pods to customise the build.

Hoping to save on your phone contract? The big four carriers – O2, Vodafone, EE and Three – all host their own Black Friday sales for new and existing customers looking to upgrade, along with smaller challenger brands, resellers and networks. I’ll hand you over to our tech writer, Steve, who has selected some of the best SIM-only data deals and mobile phone offers available at the moment.

Superdrug’s Black Friday sale – which it’s calling its biggest ever – has landed. If Cerave is one of your skincare go-tos, here’s a saving on its blemish control cleanser.

Cerave blemish control cleanser with salicylic acid: Was £12.99, now £8.65, Superdrug.com

In a review of the best CeraVe skincare products our tester named this the best option for oily and acne-prone skin. With this Superdrug discount, you can add your basket with a 33 per cent discount. “Unlike other similar cleansers designed for blemish-prone skin, this one doesn’t dry out skin or strip it of moisture”, ou reviewer praised, adding that, instead, “the blend of ceramides, niacinamide and salicylic acid (2 per cent) gently exfoliates the skin while removing both dirt.”

Helpfully, Currys has introduced a price guarantee this year, which means that none of the products in its Black Friday sale will have been cheaper in the past six months.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 classic: Was £369, now £269,Currys.co.uk

The classic edition of the Samsung Galaxy watch 6 is now discounted by a hefty £100 at Currys. The wearable featured in our review of the best smartwatches, in which our tech writer, Steve, called it “the best Android smartwatch for Samsung users, integrating as seamlessly with Galaxy phones as Apple’s watch does with iPhone”. This classic edition is a little larger and features a classy rotating bezel.

Ahead of the official Black Friday klaxon, Charlotte Tilbury has a limited-time offer of two-for-one bundles, applied to its pillow talk palettes, airbrush flawless foundation, and more. Plus, its beauty treasure chest of love, a 12-door beauty advent calendar (Charlottetilbury.com), is worth £243, while costing £170, so it’s also worth a look.

If previous years are anything to go by, Zara’s Black Friday sale could land on the brand’s app the night before Black Friday kicks off officially (29 November), when offers are likely to launch online and in-store. Last November, discounts of up to 40 per cent could be found at the fashion retailer, so, whether you’re after a winter coat, partywear or cosy knits, Zara is one to watch. Daisy will fill you in on the rest.

More on the best gaming deals now, and Alex, one of The Independent‘s resident tech experts, predicts we’ll see some stellar PS5 savings this year, along with cheap PS5 bundles, with free PlayStation Plus memberships, games and more. While there aren’t any great deals on the PS5 at the minute, here’s a small discount, available at Amazon.

PS5 Slim disc edition: Was £479.99, now £458, Amazon.co.uk

This model, with the ability to read Blu-Ray discs, is essential for anyone whose library of games and movies is still physical. It’s the only PS5 console that still comes with a detachable disc drive as standard – not even the PS5 Pro has one of those. “A catalogue of exclusive games – many of them truly unmissable experiences – gives the PS5 a slight edge over the (technically more powerful) Xbox Series X.,” tech writer Steve wrote in his review.
